Working in a Digital Government as a Non-Digital Leader
A one-day programme for non-digital senior civil servants on digital, data and technology in government. No technical background needed.
About This Programme
This one-day programme is for senior leaders outside the digital profession who work alongside digital teams or are accountable for services with significant digital components. By the end of the day you’ll be able to explain how the Government Digital and Data Profession works, sponsor a digital service well and ask your agile teams the right questions.
We don’t expect you to become a practitioner.
